Charlie Macartney, the dazzling Australian opener, gets the full biography treatment in Peter Sharpham’s hardback Charlie Macartney Cricket’s Governor General. Sharpham traces the legend from Sydney schoolboy to Ashes hero, unpacking the fearless batting that earned Macartney the nickname “Governor General” on the 1926 England tour.

This 2004 first-edition hardcover arrives with its original dust jacket still bright, a genuine vintage find for collectors of Australian cricketana. Inside, pages are crisp and unmarked, the binding square and firm—only a missing front blank flyleaf keeps it from higher grading. The book has lived in a smoke-free home and shows no dog-ears or sunning.

Perfect for lovers of sports biographies, Australian history buffs, or any cricket fan hunting a readable, collectible account of the game’s golden age. Add this copy to your shelf and step back into the era of timeless Tests and timeless stories.
